Money is definitely the hold up. GSP signed his contract prior to the Reebok deal so they have to sort that out because he made a ton on sponsorship that he would now lose out on. Both sides have a legal leg to stand on so a court case could go either way. GSP can say they can't enforce a unilateral change to a contract without his agreement but standard UFC contracts (even ones prior to Reebok) say that a fighter can't wear clothing that conflicts with a UFC sponsor. There's a great blog from a lawyer in BC who translates legalese to normal english when it comes to combat sports. Worth a read if you're interested in that kind of thing. https://combatsportslaw.com/2016/10/18/lets-speculate-about-gsps-ufc-contract-dispute/

Sellers had zero locker room issues, it was all off-field . He had a DUI in 2000 & then on 2001 he got busted (with another Clevand player) for coke during a traffic stop. The drug charges got dropped but he had to prove he could stay out of trouble so he came back to the CFL.

Looking at the list, it's a good mix of older & newer players so I have no problems with how they've selected them. With so many great players to choose from, somebody was going to get left out. Jacobs is going to be up there for sure, it's just a matter of when.

I'd have to think that with number like this, he has to be a lock for our ROTY nominee. Fogg had an early lead and definitely still deserves to be mentioned, but I can't imagine Loffler not getting the nod.

There's a reason why UFC contracts specifically stated that all contract disputes must be settled in Nevada court rooms, and it's not simply because it's convenient for the UFC. Rampage Jackson tried the same thing with Bellator. He was able to fight once for the UFC before the lawsuits were settled but ended up back with bellator. The UFC is already disputing his claim and GSP himself admits they offered him a fight with Robbie Lawler. http://www.tsn.ca/st-pierre-announces-he-is-a-free-agent-1.586969

That's probably not what you had planned this year either!

LOL! GSP can say whatever he wants but if he tries to sign somewhere else, the UFC will say see you in court (and that court would be in Nevada where the UFC has considerable sway). Unless they can reach a new deal, he's pretty well stuck. Any legal action would bleed him dry well before it does the UFC any damage.

It's awkward in the the fact that the 1st quoted shows Nate as being eliminated but then he submitted a pick anyway. I believe the initial post was updated after the games though & he was still in at the time of his post.

Former Dallas Cowboy Greg Hardy looking for a new career as a fighter. I guess you know it's time to hang up the cleats when even the Riders don't want to sign you! http://www.tsn.ca/report-ex-cowboy-hardy-taking-up-mma-1.583040

Got to go back to Messam.

Have you looked in a mirror lately?

The guy accused of throwing the can is denying it. He says he was drinking beer out of cups not cans and some of the footage supports that claim (doesn't mean that he couldn't have done it though).

They've done between the knuckles before. The comics originally had them coming out of the back of the hand but have gone between the knuckles more as of late.

He's the youngest captain in league history so there's a record right there. I would assume 45 games is also a record but everyone knew this was coming. Chiarelli basically said as much in the off season & Taylor Hall said he was the leader on the ice by the end of last season.

Josh Samman passed away this morning. He was 3-1 in the UFC after being a semi-finalist on season 17 of the Ultimate Fighter. He had been in a coma since last week. He was found unconscious with his room-mate after apparent drug overdoses (his friend was dead before anyone found them). Samman had a rough few years (his fiance died while texting him & driving, he battled a heroin addiction amongst other things) but had seemingly turned a corner.

According to Madani, they tried to trade Hazelton but there were no takers.

Not a gif but I don't think people will mind.

The real question is did he set up a garage sale too?

Malaise =

And the real reason for his leaving the sport has been revealed. http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/report-fury-tested-positive-cocaine-355474

Already done... Bell hurt himself in practice so John White is back in at RB.

I am not a fan of him at all but I can't deny he's been outstanding.

Bob Mckenzie reported the same thing yesterday.

They have cup holders like ours. You can see them in this picture.

One ticket for the Manny show please.
